Flattering as his comments might be, he is being slightly less than accurate when he suggests the PRCA is following the CIPR's lead. In 2006, my predecessor Patrick Barrow stated: 'TUPE could cause chaos for the PR industry, yet very few people have woken up to the implications.'

Instead of squabbling over who opposed TUPE first, Farrington might instead prefer simply to join us in lobbying against such a bad law.
